IIulS, VIC duut VI MISS Nina an
zandf, had telegraphed from this city
to Marriage Clerk Zeegur. forbidding
him issuing a license the marriage
of the young lady to Spies, the Anar-
chist, a Commercial Gazette reporter
called upon the lady al her residence in
Oakland, to ascertain the attitude of
Miss Van Zandt's friends in regard to
her course of conduct.
MRS. ARTHURs SEEMED HEART-BRoKEN.
To reporter she said: 81 spent nearly
the entire Sabbath on my knees in
prayer for that infatuated girl, and
when 1 opened the paper this morning
and saw that Mr.. Eugene Zeegur, the
Chicago marriage licenss clerk, had re
fused to license, so that she could not
marry, thanked God for what seemed
direct answer to my prayer, and then
the next thing l did was to send a tele-
gram to Mr.. Zeegur, thanking him for
his manliness and courage in daring to
refuse the license The first intimation
that relatives had of the existing state
of affairs was the announcement made
in the. papers Saturday morning last. :"
1hE ShOCA MRS. ARTHUR
and her distinguished father and
mother can be readily imagined, es-
pecially as Miss Van Zandt's mother,
who is the only sister of Mrs. Arthur,
had been visiting her parents and sister
just two weeks previous, and with the
exception of jokingly remarking that
Nina expected to marry some nice
young man in the spring, had made
nothing known, and had not given the
slightest hint in the true direction. On
reading the news, so great was the
prostration of Mrs. Arthur's father,
Mr.Wm. B. Clarke, that Mrs. Arthur was
obliged to write to the Van Zaudts the
message he wished to send. The letter
was mailed by 10 o'clock Saturday
morning, imploring them to prevent
the wedding. This was closely followed
by another and the Van Zandt family
we're informed that henceforth they
were not to be considered
IN THE LIGHT OF RELATIONS.
Every connection, socially and finan-
cially, was dissolved forever and Miss
Nina utterly disinherited. "She will re-
ceive no more than our dog lying there
on the rug. Every dollar shall be be-
queathed to charitable purposes" said
MRS. Arthurs. as she wiped the tears
from her eyes. This morning a letter
was received from Mrs. Van Zandt from
Chicago, written before the receipt of
those sent from Pittsburg, in which she
informs her relatives of Nina's
APPROACHING MARRIAGES TO SPIES,
the Anarchist, invites them to be
present at the ceremony which is to be
performed on Thursday in the jail in
Chicago; adding also, that she and Mr..
Van Zandt could find no fault in the
man, and had given their full consent to
the nuptials, and that she hoped the
friends there would not worry them
selves. This letter." continued Mrs.
Arthurs, which shows Nina's parents
to be as highly blamable as Nina herself,
only made father and all of us more
firm in the determination to disown the
family forever" Il fear. continued Mrs
Arthurs," that it is her bright way of
talking that has led her into this. She
never saw Spies until that day in the
court room ;Ithen she probably visited
Hill Ill anu OH ChNAdhEO Va nOAAo
and sentiments led to this, but we cam
not account for this complete infatua-
ton, unless she and her father and
mother
HAVE ALL GONE CLEAN CRAZY;
and we think they have. If my niece
is an atheist now, she certainly was not
last summer, as she contemplated at
that time joining the church"
Mr.. Clarke will positively refuse to
have anything more to do with the
family. If the marriage takes place
NOT A DOLLAR WILL BE EXPENDED
for the release of the condemned An
archist. Mr.. Clarke is lying seriouslyil
at his elegant residence in Oakland,
Frustrated by the news OF Miss Van
Zandt's intended marriage and the fam
ily fear he will not recover.
CHICAGO, January Wharfage Lii
cense Clerk Eugene Zeesur received the
following dispatch this afternoon from
Pittsburg:
y.sSe no license to Miss Van Zandt and
Sniet to be married. We forbid the marriage.
fSigned). MRS. JOHN ARTHURS.
After reading the telegram, Zsegur
said ~ shall rsfer the matter to County
Clerk WuIff, and act under his instruc-
tons. Personally, l do not think a Ii
cense should be issued. Zeegur added
that he understands the lady sending
the telegram is Miss Van Zandt'sgrand-
mother, and is quite wealthy.
